ST. JOHNS, N. F., Feb. l4.-Many prom.
inent business houses here are In financial
difficulties and commercial crisis seems
inevitable. News from tho northern
parts OF the island represents things In a
deplorable condition. The Government
has already sent Thousands Of barrels Of
flour to keep the people from starving,
but the supply Is altogether inadequate.
The most northorly parts are now frozen
In, and it is impossible to send supplies
there In time To save the people.
Il was most pitiful to witness scenes at
many placea at which the coasting steamer
Curlew stopped on her last trip north.
Scores Of people who had had nothing but
goldfish and hard tack land very little OF
that to subsist upon for months, dragged
themselves across twenty to twenty.five
miles OF barren rocks and wild wastes to
whore the steamer stopped. They came
In hopes Of getting supplies Of flour, mo.
lasoes and pork enough to keep body and
soul together during the next three
months. Bnt the steamer had no supplies
ior them and, discouraged, they slartad to
return to their miserable homes TO suffer
all the. pangs OF hunger and exhaustion
added to the rigors Of Newfoundland
winter. ~ -. : : - 80
Meanwhile the Government has spent
such large Hums In purchasing supplioa
and IN constructing the Placentia r .iiway
TO furnish labor, and go save people of
thoso districts from starvation, that the
treasury ia depleted. Added to this Is the
fact that Newfoundland fish Is a glut on
every market, owing to the inability to
compete with that Of their bounty.fed
French rivals. 1t is truly said that the
island presents to the world the most
mourntnl spectacle, and Ito people are the
most miserable OF all English colonists.
Compared with them, the people Of Ire
land are happy, contented and prosperous.

his contract with the Chicagos for next
year and that Kelley has signed with the
Bostons. It is understood that $40 900 was

the Bostons, alternating between back.

A Poughkeepaie dispatch aays: Boston
had ofte.ed $500 for Glaascock, and had
been prevented from getting him by the
interposition Of the Lssgue Supervisory
Committee. About mouth ago Director
Billings, OF Boston, heard that Kelley had
said he would leave the profession
rather than play with Chicago another
year, aad ct once proposed to his col.
leagues that an oler. be made for Kelley's
release. An offer OF 5000 WAS made
which President Spualding, OF the Chicago
base ball club, refused, ssyinp
that it would take $4,000 to ,pet
him. Boston then offered $4,000 and

would make bona fide bid OF $40, 900 and
give him. until the middle Of March to
talk over the matter with the
